New Boots....Dry Feet!

What have I been up since Monday..... not a lot really. Of course I've done the usual washing, food shopping, cooking and cleaning as well as reading books and blogs. Liz and I've been out walking the dogs with Connie's leg well wrapped up to protect and keep it dry. I've been having trouble keeping my feet dry as my walking boots now leak so it was off to Wrexham to get some more boots. I ended up getting some 'Hoggs' waterproof hiking boots from Countrywide Farmers as the price was good at £39.99 as they currently have 10% off. Good news.... out walking today and I have dry feet! I don't see the point of having boots that aren't waterproof, we get a lot of rain in Wales.

About Me

I retired from primary teaching in 2006 and am now living afloat with my husband Eric on our narrowboat called 'Bendigedig'. The name means wonderful. After ten years afloat we are still enjoying life. For several years we wintered in Llangollen in north Wales and then spent seven months cruising mainly canals with occasional rivers. Two years ago things changed as we felt we needed a home, somewhere to leave the boat when we needed to be in Newport. We now have a residential mooring at Whixall Marina which is lovely and quiet away from noisy roads and trains. We will use it as a base to cruise from when we get itchy feet in the Summer months. If we don't want to cruise it's great to have a home. We needed a car so we aren't totally cut off from the world, which also makes visiting our family so much easier. Although Ben the dog has been less active since he had meningitis he still enjoys life with us on the boat and loves to be out and about sniffing new smells on much shorter walks.
